Hello,

I am using the SWT with DJSweet to generate screen captures of a web browser from my java program.

All is working well on Windows, but on Linux there is an issue with accessing twitter statuses.

I believe the problem is the # (pound/ hash) sign in the twitter status URL, which java interprets as a fragment identifier.

An example status is:
twitter.com/#!/mexicanjoe/statuses/122004755785588736


On windows the complete URL seems to load, but on Linux on the part prior to the # sign loads.

I have tried escaping the # sign, but that does not get unescaped and gets a 404 error.

Any ideas would be appritiated!

Thanks!

What version would you reccomend?

Hi,

I've confirmed that it is a problem in the XULRunner version you're
using, because stand-alone Firefox 3.6.x shows the same behaviour.
Unfortunately the Browser currently only supports XULRunner versions up
to 3.6.x, which corresponds to Firefox 3.6.x, so I don't think there's a
Browser-supported XULRunner version where this works. There is an
eclipse 3.8 plan item to support newer XULRunner versions, so this would
likely make your case start to work.

One other possibility: URLs like this work fine in WebKitGTK. You
should be able to make use of this instead of XULRunner if all of the
following are true:

- DJSweet is creating its Browser with style SWT.NONE, not SWT.MOZILLA
- your Linux distro provides libraries for WebKitGTK >= 1.2.x (this has
been the case for 2-3 years)
- the underlying SWT version is 3.7.x, or alternatively it can be 3.6.2
iff the conditions in
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserwebkitgtk are met

HTH,
Grant

Hi Grant,
I installed webkitgtk.x86_64 version 1.2.6-2.el6_0 via yum.

Unfortunately I am getting the same results.

I am using the latest version of the SWT toolikit. Do I need to set any flags to get it to use the GTK?

In addition I removed XULRunner from the paths.

Thanks for your help!

SWT 3.7.x should not have any problem with using this WebKitGTK version.

- is DJSweet definitely using this swt install (it's not actually
pointed at another swt version installed elsewhere)?
- your swt version is 64-bit (since your webkitgtk libraries apparently
are)?
- is it possible that DJSweet is creating its Browser instance with
style SWT.MOZILLA (in which case it would not consider using WebKitGTK)?

Hello,

I created a simple test to make sure that DJSweet was not adding anything. I am still not having any luck.

The code is below. I am using swt-3.7-gtk-linux-x86_64.

I have both Xulrunner and the webkitgtk installed ont he machine. Do I need to remove Xulrunner from the system?

package com.pangea.thumbnail;

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWTError;
import org.eclipse.swt.browser.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.MessageBox;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

public class TestSWTBrowser {
    public static void main(String [] args){
        Display display = new Display();
        Shell shell = new Shell(display);
        shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());

        shell.layout(true,true);
        shell.setSize(800, 1024);
        Browser browser = null;
        try {
           browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);
           // space added since I am not allowed to posta URL
           browser.setUrl("h t t p : / /twitter.com/#!/mexicanjoe/statuses/122004755785588736");
        } catch (SWTError e) {
           MessageBox messageBox = new MessageBox(shell, SWT.ICON_ERROR | SWT.OK);
           messageBox.setMessage("Browser cannot be initialized.");
           messageBox.setText("Exit");
           messageBox.open();
           System.exit(-1);
        }
        shell.open();        
        shell.setVisible(true);
        boolean interupted = false;
        boolean working = true;
        while (!interupted && (!display.isDisposed())){
            if (!(working = display.readAndDispatch())) {
                display.sleep();
            }
            //System.out.println("Display status: "+working);
        }
        display.dispose();

    }

}

You don't need to remove XULRunner for eclipse/swt 3.7 to use WebKitGTK.

Can you add the following line to the beginning of your snippet and see
what's written to stdout?

Device.DEBUG = true;

Hi Grant,

Here is the output:

[ec2-user@ip-10-194-7-152 ~]$ Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:2.0".
WebKit version 1.2.6



Thanks for your help!

Ok, I see. RHEL6 has WebKitGTK 1.2.6, and I see your problem happen
there. However Ubuntu 10.04 has WebKitGTK 1.2.7 and the page shows
fine. So it looks like this behaviour was fixed in WebKitGTK 1.2.7.
Upgrading your OS's WebKitGTK to a newer version should fix this for you.

Grant

Hi Grant,

I have been trying to no avail to upgrade my version of WebKitGTK on Centos to 1.2.7.

I grabbed a Ferdora RPM and tried to recompile it, but that gave me errors on GLIB.

I then grabbed the GLIB upgrade and tried to compile that, but I get an odd error message.

Do you have any idea where RPMs for Ubuntu would be? All I found were deb files.

I am really not greate when it comes to Linux, so if I am asking an obvious question please excuse me.

I'm not great with managing RPMs like this either, and try to avoid
mixing them between distros.

Since you already have WebKitGTK 1.2.6, you presumably have all of the
dependencies that any WebKitGTK 1.2.x release would need. My experience
was that compiling WebKitGTK from source was reasonably straightforward
once all of the required dev packages are installed. You may wish to
try this if the whole RPM thing is giving you a headache.
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingGtk is probably an accurate list of
the required dev packages, just ignore the stated version requirements
since they're for building WebKitGTK 1.6.x. If you get it built then
you can point to it at runtime by setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable.

Or alternatively, maybe you can install a newer linux distro?
